A & M Potatoes 
fulfil*-** Plant potatoes deeper in sandy soil than in heavier ground, a good average depth being 5 inches. They should be 
CUllulc spaced 14 inches apart in the rows with the rows 30 inches apart. When dividing tubers for planting do not cut the 
pieces too small. Each piece should be at least one cubic inch and have at least two eyes. Better results will be obtained if the 
cut surface is allowed to dry or heal for 24 hours before planting, and some growers make a practice of dusting with sulphur 
or lime. Plant 600 pounds per acre for the spring crop and 800 to 900 lbs. per acre for early crops when potatoes are dug small. 
If potatoes follow alfalfa or melilotus, good yields can usually be obtained without the use of commercial fertilizer, but A & M 
Special Potato Fertilizer listed below will be found profitable. Keep the soil moist at all times. Do not judge moisture by the ap¬ 
pearance of the plants as when they become dark green or begin to turn yellow it is then too late to apply water for best results. 
It is advisable to cultivate often to conserve moisture and keep down weeds. When cultivating, throw the earth toward the plants 
a little higher each time until at the last cultivation the ridges are six to ten inches high and broad in proportion so the tubers 
will be kept cool and free from tuber moth infection. For garden plantings use 10 lbs. of potatoes to 100 feet of row. 
Potato Inspection 
All seed potatoes are subject to rigorous inspection by County Horticultural authorities, thus ensur¬ 
ing great protection to the grower.

r Tices pleased to quote lowest prices in conformity with our high standard of quality. 
Early White Rose

White Rose, for the reason that for many years it has proven 
more satisfactory under varied conditions than other varieties.

a good variety to grow without irrigation and it is out of the 
ground before nemetode and other enemies have done great 
injury. Because of its earliness it costs less to grow. In stock

DIP TREATMENT OF POTATOES 
To growers who wish to disinfect potatoes before planting, 
we highly recommend SEMESAN BEL, a preparation designed 
specifically to furnish an easy, rapid and simple method of seed 
potato disinfection. Semesan Bel dries quickly on the seed, 
forming a thin coating of disinfectant. Surface-borne organ- 
isms of rhizoctonia, scab and black leg are usually destroyed, 
ihe treatment also frequently promotes more uniform germi- 
nation of seed pieces and often improves the stand and the vigor 
or the plants. Semesan Bel readily mixes with cold water. One 
folS ik W1 make 10 quarts of dip and will treat approximately 
1.^00 lbs. of whole or large seed pieces and about 850 lbs. of 
^ ICE .S — (4 oz. tin 50c) (1 lb. tin $1.75) 
(5 lb. tin $8.00) (25 lb. pail $31.25) f.o.b. Los Angeles. (Write 
for descriptive circular.) 
A & M Roselle 
Culture —Sow seed of this 
annual early in April in the 
field, 4 feet apart, in rows 
6 feet apart. Cultivate as 
Okra. There is an early 
and a late Roselle. Be sure 
to get the early variety, be¬ 
cause the frost is almost 
sure to destroy the late va¬ 
riety before it matures. We 
offer only the early variety. 
It is easily grown if 
planted after the ground is 
warm; grows rapidly, re¬ 
sists drought and is very 
ornamental. 
The calyx surrounding the 
seed pod is used for mak¬ 
ing jelly, which Is superior 
to guava or currant. 
After flower petals fall, 
remove calyxes from seed 
pod. To four solid quarts of 
calyxes add one quart of 
cold water; boil until ten¬ 
der. Strain through cheese 
cloth, but do not squeeze. 
Measure the juice by the 
cup; measure an equal 
number of cups of sugar 
which should be placed in 
the oven to heat. Boil the 
juice twenty minutes, add 
the hot sugar, boil three 
minutes, strain once more 
into glasses.
